"Lakefront park w/ playground, restrooms. Lakeshore shallow but rocky; good 4 kids, might want H2O shoes. Free. Summer Sunday concerts, movie nights also free. Various events year 'round. A real gem!"

"Layton Park is the setting for the museum. An ancient Washoe site, park has picnic tables & small nature trail w/ animal brochures 2 help kids find animal cutouts along trail. Free. Great 4 picnics!"

"The cabin is closed for winter . . . but you can still peek in the windows!"

"It's winter! The museum is open Fridays and Saturdays 10 to 4. BUT . . . if you call 530.583.1762, you can make an appointment to open up just about anytime during the week!"
